Description
Arcade Amusement is a 7-track CD-EP by the British alternative pop band Fat and Frantic, independently released on ICY Records (I’ll Call You Records) in 2011. The EP was engineered by Michael Wolff at Wapping Press Studios with Steve Jones and the band producing.
Fat and Frantic features Silas Crawley, David Clifton, Jim Harris, Craig McLeish, Simon Saunders, and Jon Soper.
This EP heralds the return – at least for a short season – of those crazy iconoclasts from Bristol who in a time long past were telling how a wife hovered her husband’s head. F&F’s two recent download singles are here together with various mixes (which in truth are pretty superfluous to requirements). The «Paradise» single is a summery confection which is pleasant enough with Jon Soper’s lead vocal gliding effortlessly over the acoustic guitar accompaniment but in truth it isn’t hugely memorable. Much better, and a possible radio hit, is «Fruit Machine» which has all the laconic wit we know and love and over a cod ska rhythm features Jon plaintively intoning “all I needed was a triple cherry”. Listen out for it on CR radio. [Tony Cummings, Cross Rhythms, July 2011]
